Game Crashing a Lot

I've been having a lot of trouble with the game crashing lately, enough so that it's getting hard to play.  In the past, I've had families I've played for 10+ generations, and now I can barely manage to get through one generation without the crashing happening.  I've been playing Sims since the original, before all the expansion packs were out, so over a couple of decades now, and I have never had as much crashing as recently.

I play PC, no mods, no CC, just a bunch of the packs.  It started recently, not linked to any particular pack that I noticed.  I can start a brand new save and it won't crash for a while, but by the time the house starts getting bigger and they start getting more stuff (gardening, paintings for the walls, skill objects, etc), it starts crashing.  I like to try completing collections, but I can't have those exhibited most of the time, they have to be in an inventory space/chest/household inventory.  Sometimes I can play for several sims' days without it crashing, but other times it is crashing a couple times a day.

I can't really play the game this way.  I keep trying different saves to see if it'll work, but this has reached a point where I can't even play anymore because of all the crashing.
